It has been confirmed that the co-founder of The Pirate Bay, Gottfrid Svartholm, was arrested in Cambodian capital Phnom Penh after a request by the Swedish government.

Unfortunately for the righteous distributors of all things copyrighted, Sweden and Cambodia have no extradition treaty. Cambodian authorities are currently looking at their options, but the situation is far from done and dusted.

It has been revealed that Gottfrid had been working for Arocore, an IT company that dabbled in online casino software. Unfortunately, his four-year tenure there was mostly notable for his drug use, which reportedly involved a scene of him sobbing in a fetal position under the boardroom table. Yes, during a meeting. Scary.

Unfortunately for Gottfrid, a report by an anonymous troublemaker suggests that Cambodian authorities aren’t really using these laws as rules, more like general guidelines. Judging by these, Gottfrid may find himself en route to Sweden sooner than later.

Until then, he will find himself in the deportation jail, which although isn’t ideal, is still better than regular Cambodian jail. “You sleep on the floor. You may have a wicker type mat in the cell, though that’s not guaranteed (…) During the time in the detention block you’re fed rations enough for three small meals a day, all food delivered in the morning. A diet of instant noodles (once you buy yourself something to boil your water with) and bread. You’re entitled to extras such as cigarettes at the discretion of the warden”, the report says.

Well, deportation suddenly sounds great, don’t you think? Anyhow, we still wish Gottfrid luck, because it sounds like he will need it bad. Well, either luck or drugs.
